Our Good Fortune
You can call us "lucky" and you can call her Janet Fortune, our Legal Assistant and Funding Coordinator (also a Notary Public).
Janet will soon observe her second anniversary with the firm and was instrumental in keeping us on track with our recent office remodel.
Janet keeps our clients on track, too. Many of you have had contact with Janet, and perhaps you've been wondering how she manages to be so helpful and patient. Well, we'll let you in on a little secret: Janet had a previous career that spanned 20 years. She was a certified pre-school teacher! Now retired from that profession, she hasn't lost her ability to teach and explain things in ways that anyone can understand.
Janet has four grown children, five grandchildren, two step-grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Janet and her husband Dave are longtime residents of Glendale.
She has been an award winner in the PTA, in Little League and soccer, and spent 10 years as coach of a Special Olympics Bowling Team. ("Fabulous, unforgettable experience," she notes.)
She works in children's education and music programs at her church and is an active member of the Optimist Club in Burbank, working to support such charitable causes at the Optimist Youth Home and the Blind Olympics.
Janet loves to travel and notes that her all-time favorite trip was not her longest one; she rode the legendary Amtrak Coast Starlight train from L.A. to Seattle. (Janet says it was like "traveling backward to a different era.")
We're delighted to highlight our "good Fortune" as she begins her third year with Griepp & McRee!
